Mysterious Mose - Bimbo and Betty Boop
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 чер 2006
- An early Fleischer film from 1930 featuring Bimbo and the character who would soon be called Betty Boop. The Fleischer studio was known for surrealistic animation and this is a great example.
Note how Betty is a human with dog ears in this film. She was gradually changed from a dog to a human over time. Her dog ears would soon become hoop earrings.

"An invisible man, sleeping in your bed.
Who you gonna call?
Ghostbusters!"
I honestly think the animation here is brilliant
Dang, Bimbo's got some rockin' moves.
yes. the woman name was Helen Kane. Thats who betty boop was based off of. You can look her up on wikipedia
The Fleischer cartoons of this era are always amazing to watch. I really like this one.
Max Fleischer, along with Salvador Dali, was a true master of the surreal.
Yep Mae Quastel was certainly versatile,
I forget just how long she did
Olive's voice in Popeye,
well into the fifties I think,
Yes Who Framed Roger Rabbit
was her last performance as Betty,
I've always felt it was a nice send off for her.
Oh, I love this cartoon. Max Flescher was a genius. This cartoon inspires me. Its kinda sad to think everyone involved in this cartoon are dead.
Same here,
I always find quite a few of these early Fleischer's unnerving but I love their surrealism and bizzareness,
Walt Disney would probably never have wanted any part of the wild twisted humor and sensibilities of the Fleischer toons from the thirties IMHO,
I think he was way too
straight laced for it LOL.
This is just plain weird. The ending makes no sense. lol
The Fleischer people sure made some classics when it came to weirdness.
WOW! that was wonderful! max fleisher was such a great animator! betty is in an early incarnation, but she's adorable from the start! thought it was funny when betty would get scared and her nightgown would fly off! that's pretty risque, even for today in some cartoons! We have to remember that not all cartoons are for children!
The Beatles' cartoon "Yellow Submarine" starts to look like a documentary compared to this. This is almost as nuts as Betty Boop's "Snow White", which is darned close to having no plot at all.
@fskariem Betty's 1st cartoon was "Dizzy Dishes" and Bimbo's 1st cartoon was "Hot Dog".
thought its the OLDER dog betty boop, she looks CUTER in this than the VERY FIRST dog versions of herself...those scared the shit out of me
@SeamusLight
Yes! This is why old cartoons are still the best.
Wonderful cartoon and fantastic music but try to sleep after watching.
wow, it cant get anymore classic than this! i love it!
Not a problem, I really hope that maybe
Warner Brothers might consider release a complete Betty Boop DVD collection if this complete Popeye DVD set that Warner Brothers is putting out July 31 is a big seller, Later.
In these early cartoons they'd always do a gag (for instance Betty seeing the shape under the bed covers, or Betty's heart popping out of her clothes) then immediately do it again. I've seen some early Warners cartoons where they did the gag three times in a row! Was is really just to pad out running time, or did they figure the audience wouldn't get it the first time, or what??
Wow, the cartoons where kinda dark even back then. But a great little episode, I love Bimbo!
Great early one! Now we know why Betty was dating Bimbo the dog- she used to be canine....
Probably not. Before the Hays code fiction didn't need to have a moral, hence all the references to drugs, sex and violence in the old Fleischer cartoons. The only one with moral I can think of right now is Minnie the Moocher ("don't run away from home, because you might meet a ghost band led by Cab Calloway in the guise of a spectral walrus, which will scare the living 'ell out of you")
u and me both...these toons rock my sox!!!!
Bimbo is Mysterious Mose!
I agree GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID she does look unusual in the earliest Fleischer shorts from the early thirties,
Although IMHO she had more facial expressiveness in those early toons than from 1933 onwards.
Even being a she-dog Betty Boop is so cute! The curious thing is that she has a somewhat Josephine Baker look in this cartoon, mainly in the way she rolled her eyes and smiled while she was singing. Lol! Thank you.
this is so imaginative! =D
Look at Betty Boop's cute hair, which looks very different, too.
Indeed, during WW2 when Jack Mercer was unable to get a chance to make it to the studio, Mae Questel did do the Popeye voice. Just check out the 4 DVD set of the Fleischer Popeyes. One of the special features is a documentary called "The Voices Of Popeye" and they show clips from two cartoons in which Mae did the voice!
I am not high enough for this right now
This is lovely! Kind a freaky in the beginning.
The use of shadows and darkness especially around 1:47 really reminds me of some German Expressionist films especially
'The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari'.
@fskariem Betty's first cartoon was dizzy dishes and bimbo's first cartoon was hot dog.
Weird. Just... just weird! ...I loved it!
o____o;
the poppy-head thing she does right as she starts singing is actually quite terrifying.
but wtf. xD;
otzi08 has in his videos an interesting Betty Boop film from 1989 called 'Betty Boop-Hollywood mystery-1989-2334s-Part-01' That's really IMHO worth looking at, It doesn't have Mae Quastel doing her voice
(It was done after she died) but it's done in a vintage Fleischer style
and is IMHO well worth looking at.
My favourite version of bimbo. :)
Their styles were different. Disney's approach would be for a more realistic approach to cartoons. As if you were watching something live....but still a cartoon. The Fleischers merely looked at the medium as a cartoon. In which anything can and did happen. Their Color Classics from the mid-30's however were very Disney-like in their approach.
erm am i the only one who finds old cartoons scary and a bit naughty too????
When did she became human?
Exactly what I was thinking!
Omg...Betty's facial expression at 5:31 reminded me of that one scene from total recall..
So like So
visualized So you
Know we Know
that You knew
What They Do
- That's Mysterious Mo
In the Hood
than Be Good !
@laughland
there's something creepy about the way betty boop gradually morphed from dog to human.
a bit like something out of "island of lost souls"!
she looks different
I'm no expert, but I think this wasn't animated by Fleischer. I'm pretty sure it was animated by Grim Natwick.
Animation today is horrible, the artists had to draw without using a computer
Typical creepy, nutty, surreal, oddball, nonsensical, weirdo, slithery, floppy, and musical early Betty Boop cartoon.
is this the first episode? or is it the first episode with bimbo? or is it niether?
This is kinda creepy, I dunno....
now we know where Robert Crumb got his "inspiration"
Hot and freaky. Are these really early ones on disc?
This is so trippy!
It kind of reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.
LMAO XD Wish they bring the show back or at least rerun the eps:[
Heehee, Mr Game and Watch...
Hey, mmh ooh mm eeh ehh AHH, ey, ee er mm ooh eeh mm, mmm?
Who WOULDN"T fall for that? ;)
is this one of her first eposides?
LOL he shirt came off
So um I miss the moral of the story if there ever was one to begin with
0:58 Betty has sentient toes. Who knew?
xD
Yeah! Ghostbuster!!!
@nein333 Me too, I feel the same way sometimes!!!
XD Bwahaha!
@DZrache And you'd be right! He is uncredited in this one, but he did do some scenes! Check John K's blog, johnkstuff, or go to ASIFA if you want to know more!
3:51 Mickey?
Is this censored in any way? I thought it was this cartoon where she walks past a window and u can see through her dress. XD Betty was a sex object even as a dog.
@laughland "Dizzy Dishes" not "Dirty"
@xraindropgirlx Hardly -- it's viewers like you and SeamusLight who help to keep these classics alive by continuing to love them! :)
at 3.01, an instrumental version of "St. James Infirmary" (the subject of another brilliant piece of Fleischer animation) is starting to play.
And such, furries were born.
oh, its very dopey nime, but i think thats the time when reefer was still everywhere in usa without any problems - it is a very good piece of art but with kinda halucinogenic influenza :)
